U.S. men’s national soccer team coach Mauricio Pochettino has revealed the question Donald Trump asked him about the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on the “Stick To Football” podcast, the Argentine manager recalled an exchange with the president ahead of the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C., in December — when Trump was controversially awarded FIFA’s inaugural Peace Prize.
“Do you think, coach, that we can win?” he said of the question that Trump asked him.
Pochettino said he replied, “Of course.”
